[Warning: specious, probably not same as John Manley of Fairfax co., VA]
and was survived by his wife (26 October, 1709) Penelope Higgins Manley (claimed to be d/o John Higgins and sister of wife of John Elliot John Elliott. See Hearsay liber penelopeHigginsAncestry.pdf in which one researcher claims she was born in 1685 at Westmoreland co., VA and that her mother was Penelope Hull Higgins - d/o Augustus Hull and Anne Sturman Hull). A cross-reference of source material in the LMGA indicates that Penelope Higgins Manley could not have been the sister of Sabella Elliot who m. John Elliot. This is because that Penelope Higgins m. Daniel McCarty and she was not born until 1712 (tombstone inscription showing date of birth and husbands name). But William Manley and Penelope Higgins Manley were m. before 1710. This is the same book that contained the error regarding John Manley IIs progeny. The book is entitled The Flowering of the Maryland Palatinate. Buuuttt, theres a mystery here. According to two sources the Penelope Higgins that m. William Manley was the sister of Sabella Higgins. This would also make Augustine Higgins the brother of Penelope Higgins Manley and thus explain the cousin Hugh West reference in John Manley wmIs will. This fits with the fact that an Ann Higgins was the administrator of the estate of Augustine Higgins, that is, Ann Turley West-Higgins. William Manleys estate was apparently not inventoried until 1727.
